2 Answers
Method for replacing the car key battery of Volkswagen Lavida: 1. Press the button of the mechanical key; 2. Use your left thumb to pry open the battery cover by lifting it upwards along the middle seam of the remote key; 3. Insert a toothpick into the notch at the edge of the battery to pry it out, then place the new battery into the battery slot and press the battery cover to ensure it is tightly sealed. The Volkswagen Lavida is a compact sedan under the Volkswagen brand. The dimensions of the sedan version are 4670mm in length, 1806mm in width, and 1474mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2688mm. It features a MacPherson independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. This model is equipped with three types of engines: a 1.2-liter turbocharged engine with 116 horsepower and a maximum torque of 200 Nm; a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine with 150 horsepower and a maximum torque of 250 Nm; and a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine with 113 horsepower and a maximum torque of 145 Nm.
Last time I changed the battery for my Lavida key fob myself, super easy! First locate the small notch on the side of the key, insert a coin or thin tool and gently pry to pop open the back cover. Notice that shiny round battery - it's a CR2032. Use a toothpick to remove the old battery, avoid touching the metal contacts with your fingers. When installing the new battery, make sure the positive side (marked side) faces up before pressing it in. After reassembling, quickly test the buttons - if the car doors unlock, you're done. The whole process takes less than 5 minutes, and the battery only costs about 10 yuan at convenience stores, much cheaper than going to the 4S shop. Just be careful not to pry too hard, or you might break the plastic clips.
